Desolate Detroit- The Forsaken City

'Save The Depot'

Michigan Central Station, a dramatic symbol of once-proud Detroit.Built in 1913 for the Michigan Railroad, by the 1940s more than four thousand passengers a day filled the marble-walled waiting hall. At its peak, 3,000 worked in the office tower.The station closed in 1988.Today, plaintive signs hang from an upper story: "Save the Depot."
